Overview
channels (transmit and receive, 56 kbits/s to
2.048 Mbits/s data rate per HDLC channel).
— Up to 128 PPP channels on any of up to 84
links, 84 ML PPP bundles, bundle sizes from
1-128 PPP channels.
— ML/MC/PPP support for up to 16 classes.
— Simultaneous processing for various packet
types: generic, PPP, ML/PPP, and ML/MC/PPP.
—Packet size up to 9600 bytes.

Line interfaces:
— Up to 155 Mbits/s bidirectional
bandwidth through channelized
OC-3/STM-1:
• Up to three NSMI ports (51.84 Mbits/s
each) supporting up to 84 DS1/J1 links
or 63 E1 links.
— Supports up to 16 LIU ports with
internal framer.
— Four synchronous CHI ports for direct
TDM interface to time-slot interchanger
(TSI) devices.
The Link Layer Processor (LLP) offers a
highly integrated solution for multiservice
applications such as wireline access network
and 2.5G/3G wireless access applications. The
full bidirectional data bandwidth of the LLP can
be used entirely by a single protocol path or
can be simultaneously partitioned among the
three protocol paths, allowing migration from
circuit switching (TDM) to cell switching (ATM)
to packet switching (IP) on a common platform.
The LLP device supports multichannel ATM
transmission convergence (TC), inverse
multiplexing for ATM (IMA), ATM adaptation
layer type 1 segmentation and reassembly
(AAL1 SAR), multichannel high-level data
link control (HDLC), and multilink/multiclass
point-to-point protocol (ML/MC/PPP) data-link
layer functions. These protocols are processed
between DS1/E1/J1 links and industry standard
system interfaces (SPI-3, POS-PHY™ Level 2 or
UTOPIA-2).
All device features described in this product
brief are fully accessible through an LSI
supplied software package.
Subrate HDLC processing:
— Insertion and extraction for up to 64 subrate
(8 kbits/s to 64 kbits/s rate) HDLC channels.
Frame relay support:
— The LLP provides up to 672 HDLC terminations.
Transcoder rate adapter unit (TRAU) frame
support:
— Up to 940 TRAU channels with inband
messaging.
— Supports mappings of full-rate (FR), half-rate
(HR), and adaptive multirate (AMR HR) speech
into TRAU frames.
